Lakers vs Clippers First Matchup Revealed
No matter what year it is, one of the most marquee matchups of the season will always be the Lakers vs Clippers. Even if both teams aren't equally skilled, there will always be a strange level of fascination when two teams from the same building face off. It looks like their first reported matchup will come early during the 2023-24 NBA season.
According to a report from Shams Charania, the LA Clippers and Los Angeles Lakers will face off for the first time on November 1. There have been numerous seasons where the two have faced off on opening night, and also on Christmas Day - it's always been a hyped-up matchup. The teams play four times in a season, so there's a plethora of opportunities to schedule the games.
The Clippers have defeated the Lakers 11 straight games in a row, a streak lasting three years since the NBA bubble. Additionally, they've won 36 of the last 43 games against the Lakers. Despite the one-sided dominance from the Clippers, the matchups have always been filled with much anticipation.
This upcoming Lakers vs Clippers game should be one of the most anticipated matchups since the 2020 NBA season. Both teams should be entering it relatively healthy, with a ton of star power, and will be competitively skilled. This may be the season where the LA Clippers finally lose their winning streak against the Los Angeles Lakers.
